—
Vin Diesel is an American actor, director, writer, and producer whose net worth amounts to $225 million. Starting his career in the 1990s with minor roles in movies like “Awakenings” and “Saving Private Ryan,” Diesel gained fame with the 2001 action film “The Fast and the Furious,” a successful franchise he became a pivotal part of. His diverse acting skills are evident in other notable works such as “xXx,” “The Chronicles of Riddick,” and “The Pacifier.” Additionally, he voiced Groot in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” series, expanding his fan base further.
Aside from his acting prowess, Diesel has been actively involved in producing films, including several from the “Fast and Furious” series through his production company, One Race Films. A strategic move by Diesel was made in 2006 when he agreed to cameo in “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” in exchange for ownership of the “Riddick” character. This decision paid off in 2013 with the release of the first “Riddick” film under his ownership, earning $100 million against a $40 million budget.
Collectively, Diesel’s movies have amassed over $11 billion worldwide, with the “Fast and the Furious” franchise significantly contributing to his standing as one of the highest-paid actors globally. His earnings can reach up to $50 million annually, driven by various film projects. For example, from June 2019 to June 2020, Diesel earned $55 million, with a significant portion attributed to his role in “F9.” Additionally, he benefits from a backend equity stake in films, earning a share of profits. Notable years include 2015 when Diesel earned $47 million, ranking as the third highest-paid actor, and 2017 when he made $54.3 million, securing the third spot again.
Early Life
Vin Diesel was born as Mark Sinclair on July 18, 1967, in Alameda County, California, growing up in New York City under the care of his mother, Delora, and stepfather, Irving Vincent. His acting journey began at age seven in the play “Dinosaur Door,” where he initially trespassed with his brother and friends but ended up with roles offered by the theater’s artistic director. Diesel pursued acting into his college years at Hunter College, focusing on creative writing.

Career
Diesel’s acting debut came with an uncredited role in 1990’s “Awakenings.” He proceeded to write, produce, direct, and star in the short film “Multi-Facial” in 1994, a semi-autobiographical piece that screened at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.
Noteworthy works include Diesel starring in and overseeing the film “Strays” in 1997, later acquired by MTV for a series. His breakout roles include playing anti-hero Riddick in 2000’s “Pitch Black,” Dominic Toretto in “The Fast and the Furious,” and Xander Cage in “XXX.” In 2006, he portrayed Jack DiNorscio in “Find Me Guilty” and marked his return to “The Fast and the Furious” franchise while reprising his role as Riddick in 2013.
Diesel’s voice talent shone through his portrayal of Groot in multiple Marvel works and Xander Cage in “XXX: Return of Xander Cage,” providing diversity in his acting portfolio. His foray into music with “Feel Like I Do” in 2020 and establishment of production company One Race Films, Racetrack Records, and video game studio Tigon Studios demonstrate Diesel’s versatile career pursuits.

Personal Life
In 2001, Diesel was romantically linked with Michelle Rodriguez, his co-star from “The Fast and the Furious.”
Married to Paloma Jimenez since 2007, Diesel and Jimenez share three children: Hania Riley (born in April 2008), Vincent Sinclair (born in 2010), and Pauline (born in March 2015), the latter named in honor of Diesel’s late Fast and Furious co-star Paul Walker. Diesel serves as Meadow, Walker’s daughter’s godfather.
Diesel’s deep voice is a trademark feature, developed when his voice broke at 15, lending him an adult tonality over the phone. A longtime Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, Diesel penned the foreword for the book “30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons.”
An anecdote surfaced in late 2020 where Diesel assisted a woman with a flat tire near Los Angeles International Airport, showcasing his altruistic gesture.
Incredible, right? Classic American car collector Vin Diesel from ‘Fast and Furious’ showed up to help when I had a flat tire. Opening the trunk, he grabbed the jack and spare, changed the tire, and then I thanked him with a hug and some Handi Wipes before he drove off.“
On Instagram in December 2020, Diesel remembered his late friend Paul Walker on the seventh anniversary of his passing. He shared a photo with Walker, captioning it with, “Seven years…Not a day passes… All love, Always.”
Car Collection
Unsurprisingly, Vin Diesel is a passionate collector of classic American cars. His impressive collection features a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Grand Sport, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville, a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, and a 1974 Plymouth Barracuda. Additionally, for his 52nd birthday, he received a customized 1970 Dodge Charger “Tantrum” from his “The Fast and the Furious” family, boasting a 9.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 1,650 hp. Among his other cars are a 2011 Dodge Charger SRT-8, a 2010 BMW E60 M5, and the ultra-rare 2014 Lykan Hypersport, valued at $3.4 million and featuring jewel-embedded headlights.
Real Estate
In February 2000, Diesel bought a 1,517-square-foot home for $562,500. However, in 2016, he put up for sale the two-bedroom, three-bathroom house for $1.4 million, finding the space too small for his expanding family. Before selling, Diesel rented out the Hollywood Hills property for $5,800 per month. The residence includes a kitchen opening into a dining area and living space, a master suite with beamed ceilings and French doors, a sunken tub in the master bath, and a yard with a patio and pool.
